The crown is yours. Today is Wednesday, October 30th. And the New York Yankees have life thanks to two scumbag fans that took over the internet. Then we tried to get on the show, but holy shit.
The Capabianco brothers stole the show and the Yankees bats finally woke up and the Bronx is burning. It was awesome. Good for those guys. I mean, you go to that game and I saw people clowning online saying you spent $5,000 for front row seats just to get kicked out.
No, that's maybe the most well-spent $5,000 of all time for those guys. They're heroes. If the Yankees turn this around and win the World Series, I don't know what the new regime is going to do. George Steinbrenner would put them in Monument Park.
He would just encase their bodies still alive in bronze and then put them out in the outfield. That's the best use of $5,000. And it's funny because, you know, of course you shouldn't interfere with the ball in play. But at the same time, the fact that these two guys were straight out of central casting in terms of like scumbag Yankee fans makes it hilarious.
Like reaching into Mookie Betts' love, trying to pry it off, reaching and taking the ball out, and then like holding their hands up. Like we didn't do nothing. When I say scumbag, I mean it in like a loving term because that's what they are. And I think they would be like, yeah, of course we are.
They, for people who missed it, it was one of the funniest things. I know, again, you shouldn't reach into the stands. I didn't like when they grabbed Mookie's arm. That was a little too far.
But there was a couple moments that were laugh out loud funny. One, obviously just trying to grab the ball out like the ump isn't standing right there and there's not a million replays. Two, one of the Capio Bianco brothers did like an invisible line where the wall is, as almost as if Mookie Betts is not allowed to put his glove past that line. This is our house.
This is our territory. You're not allowed to make a play here. Like it was going to actually, the ump was going to be like, oh yeah, you know what? You're right.
That's not, good call boys. He crossed the threshold. It's like you're in the backseat of a car and your brother comes across the center line. You get to hit him.
He was on my side. That's what they did with Mookie Betts. It's like, no, Mookie Betts. I can reach into that glove.
They tried to crack it. It looked like they were trying to crack open a crab to pick the lungs and knee out. It was just like put two hands on the glove separating it. And then the one dude with, I mean, who wears sunglasses at night?
Like a real piece of shit like that. Yeah. But he reached over and he had a sliding mitt on. Yeah.
He had a sliding mitt on and he, listen, again, don't do that. But the Yankees were desperate. They needed something. Those guys sparked the Yankees.
Like I believe that those guys are responsible for this win in those bats. Because basically all the Yankee fans sitting in Yankee stadium tonight were like, do something. And the Capo Bianco brothers are like, you know what? We'll do something.
We're going to take matters into our own hands. We also, you mentioned the seats and how expensive they are. So obviously the paper had their name. They were posted everywhere.
They do follow us. So shout out these guys. They're probably A.W.L.s. One of them has in his bio, work way too hard, but I'm blessed with season tickets to the best team in the world because of it.
And New York Yankees, let's go. And then to quote in the paper, because they got, they were, I think they got fined a thousand dollars apiece or no, they got, I think they got ejected. I don't know if they got fined. The tickets were a thousand dollars apiece.
Darren Capo Bianco, when he was with the Athletic, reached out for comment. He said, I just see the ball kind of, I don't, I want to say go up for grabs, if that makes sense. And then Mookie was swearing at us. Not good.
Mookie swearing me after I tried to punch his arm off the ball. Not good. Listen, again, it's the best use of money that you can have as a fan. I 100% believe that.
Like you turn around the vibes of a World Series game. That's as good as you can get for those tickets. So, so congratulations on them. And then also, I guess a little bit of credit to Volpe too, because he played his dick off tonight.
You know, if Aaron Judge showed half, half the, uh, the resolve and fight that the Capo Bianco brothers did, this, this year's going to be over. It would have been a sweep tonight. Aaron Judge is getting so sad. Now he did have a hit tonight.
He had a hit in an RBI and I think he had a walk as well, but it's getting so sad for Aaron Judge. He was up in the eighth or seventh, uh, one of the later innings. And John Smoltz was like, you can see he's a lot less jumpy at the plate. That's what we're, that's basically where Aaron Judge is at.
I was like, he, he, he looks a little more and then he immediately flied out, but it is, I'm just happy we get more World Series. This was supposed to be an all-time World Series. It looked like it was going to be a sweep. The Dodgers are so goddamn good.
Freddie Freeman has homered in six straight World Series games. It's insane. Uh, and I do think the Dodgers are going to win this series, but at least we get, at least we get a little fight out of the Yankees by their fans, by the, by the stands, uh, and Ashanti, great national anthem, shout out biz and win. They, they, they had Ashanti, uh, dead earlier this morning in a podcast clip, which they, they got confused with Aaliyah.
Those guys are the best. And so I bet, I bet the Yankees say, cause I was like, Ashanti game, I have to do it. And the Yankees have life. Yeah.
Good. I'm glad. More baseball, more Equinox. Good for everybody.
Yes. So, uh, I do. I mean, hey, guess what? Listen, gear call is going tonight.
Like the Yankees aren't dead if gear calls them. That's why you pay him so much money. He's supposed to be the guy that goes out there and shoves. So, uh, Max, do you have any comment about, uh, the, uh, heritage of the Capo Bianco brothers?
What? Italians? Yeah. Passionate guys.
Also, doesn't Capo Bianco, does that mean like head Bianco? They're like the top Biancos. The, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the top whites. Yeah, that definitely checks out.
Those are the whitest guys in America right now. Our good friend Tom Fornelli, uh, texted me because he, when we were trying to get these guys on, which we, I mean, maybe we'll still get them on, uh, if they want to come on on Thursday. I hope they go to the stream in New York City at Marshall HQ because that's my next goal. Like I, we were trying to get them on.
The window was small. Now that they couldn't come on tonight, I want them sitting next to Tommy Smokes and Hubs and Marty. I want, I want them on stream just screaming because I don't think they're allowed back in Yankee Stadium, but our good friend Tom Fornelli texted me, he's like, if you do get them on, please ask them how they ended up with the name Austin Capo Bianco because that does feel like a miss. That was, they went like Gen Z first name and Capo Bianco.
They need to be Salvatore and Tony. Joey. Yeah. Something like that.
But the Capo Bianco brothers, they, they deserve a statue if they win this, if they win the World Series. Yeah. Literally put them in Monument Park. It's easy if you're the Yankees and have them in the ticket-to-tip parade going down the Canyon of Champions or whatever the fuck they call it.
Yeah. Listen, I don't like the Yankees. It's hard to root for the Yankees, right? I think we can all agree on that.
But Hank, do you have any advice to the Yankees on how to battle back from being down 3-0 in a baseball series? You got to have great pitching. And you got to have a loose, a loose team. You got to have your stars playing well.
Garrett Cole? I think they're screwed. I'm rooting for the Dodgers, but I was rooting for the Yankees tonight, not just I bet them, but because I wanted more baseball, I wanted more World Series. And as soon as the Capo Bianco brothers came out, it's like, you have to win for them.
You have to win for them. Yeah. He swore to them. Not good.
And also, he went into their space. It's like, they call it the Bronx Zoo, right? So you're at the Bronx Zoo. If you don't stick your hand into the tiger cage, you think that you're not going to get bit.
Yeah. There also was some fake reports going around that they were yelling. That was fake, right? Yeah.
That was a fake report. Fake account. Yeah. Because there was some fake accounts making up some stories about them.
Listen, we don't know them, but as far as we know, those were fake. The stories that were being tweeted about them. And whatever promenade statements they've made in the past, I want to go ahead and pre-disavow before they come out. But we don't know if they've actually said anything bad.
But if they have, just know that we do not, on part of my take, condone that part of their bad behavior. We do condone the bad behavior along the right-field line. Well, Mookie Best's word. Not good.
True. I just love the not good. I love that he said, I don't want to say, but anytime somebody starts a sentence by saying, I don't want to say, it's about to be a fucking banger. That sentence is about to go triple platinum.
I want to read the whole quote again. I just see the ball kind of, I don't want to say, up for grabs, if that makes sense. And then Mookie was swearing at us. Not good.
Did you just say, can you go and kick him out, too? Yeah. The video of the guy wearing the full Italian silk suit with the non-existent Don Mattingly sideburns and the flattop kicking him out. That was awesome, man.
I think the other brother said when he was reached for comedy, he's like, we're just trying to enjoy the game. Like they were watching the game somewhere. They probably got a hero's welcome at Billy's Tavern or whatever it's called. So, all right.
Other quick things before we kick it back to ourselves and talk some football and have Paolo Bancaro. Joe Flacco is back officially. Anthony Richardson has been benched. This is a move that is, I don't know.
I keep struggling because, again, we've talked about this, I feel like, every single week. If you draft Anthony Richardson in four, you got to play him because you got to see what he is. But it feels like the Colts might have just said, hey, we have a chance to maybe make the playoffs if we win a couple games here. Joe Flacco can win a couple games.
And thank you to the Colts because they play on Sunday Night Football this week. And that would have sucked if it was Anthony Richardson. And they're like, hey, let's put Joe Flacco in and give America a little treat. This might be our last Flacco in primetime game.
Just know that. So make sure to tune in. Tell everybody, tell a friend to tune in and watch Sunday Night Football. Because like we said, you have to cherish every single Joe Flacco start that you get.
And I'm going to make sure to do that. As far as the Anthony Richardson thing goes, it's the fact that they kept losing every game within one score, like all their losses within one score. That's what did it. If you're getting blown out, then you can probably still say, we're going to start Anthony Richardson and see if we can work with him developing.
But the fact that you're so close in all these games, if you're the head coach, if you're Shane Second, you have to start him because you're wasting what could be a playoff season. And you also risk losing the locker room when all the other guys are dependent on the quarterback for the salary. They're not getting the ball. The offense isn't moving.
All those other guys then are like, hey, dude, what the fuck? I'm playing real hard. And you're absolutely tanking my chances at future contracts here. So I get why it had to be done.
But at the same time, I also think that it's not good. And you're essentially giving up on a very, very high draft pick from just last year. And this is how the NFL works now. Teams, I feel like the leash for a quarterback is, I mean, I'm trying to think.
Josh Rosen probably was the first one. But it feels like if you don't show anything for whatever, 10 games a season, I mean, he hasn't played less than 10 games because he was injured last year. But Bryce Young's the other one. And I don't totally disagree with it.
And the fact that if you think it's never going to work, it's better to move on quickly than to compound the mistake and just keep trying to do it, even though you know it's not going to work. Yeah. No, I agree. And I think that we've seen a lot of plays from Anthony Richardson where it's like, that is not a play that a good quarterback makes.
Another chance, because I would like to see him get another chance. The other news was Stephon Diggs out for the season for the Texans, which the Texans are a little snakebitten right now. They need Nico Collins back real bad. But that's tough for Stephon Diggs to be out for the year.
And now they're down to, I mean, Tank Dell's the guy right now. And I don't know. I don't know. That offense looks not great all season.
I mean, look, OK, when Nico was playing. But it looked clunky a lot of times. And they lose a big weapon in Stephon Diggs. I don't know.
I mean, the AFC feels like it maybe got a little bit easier. Mixing playing helps, though. Yeah, for sure. Tank Dell is a very, very good player.
And their defense isn't very, very good. Yeah, their defensive line is elite. And they'll still be in games. And CSH will figure it out.
It's just like, if your goal was to win a Super Bowl, Stephon Diggs being out might hurt that goal. Yeah, for sure. And I think Diggs is on a one-year contract, too. So he's going to be a free agent again this offseason.
All I know is I'm thinking about laying a hammer down on the Jets. Yeah, no. Hell no. I'm thinking about doing it.
You saw their uniforms. Yeah, we're going to talk about them in a second. I don't know, PFT. That feels like the biggest trap ever.
Because the Jets are just going to be the team that all season are like, well, this is the game. They'll prove it. Yep. And then they just won't.
And we'll just keep doing it and saying, this will be the game. I mean, it's Aaron Rodgers' derangement syndrome. I am the leading case of it in America. My theory is that they will not get any lower than they are right now.
Like, everyone's shitting on the Jets. Everyone is shitting on the Jets. Aaron Rodgers is drinking water with cayenne pepper in it. I think it's been around.
It's been pretty low. Okay, do we have anything else? Is there anything else that happened between when we recorded this afternoon and now? There's one piece of news.
Oh. Snubbed again. Part of my take. Oh, yeah.
For the eighth year in a row, we did not win People Awards' Sexiest Podcast Award. Yeah, we are, Hank. Are we not? No, we are crazy to think about it.
Yeah, 16 months away. I think the boys just go fucking crazy on some plastic surgery and try to win this award one year. Listen, I'll just butcher our faces. Just look like completely different human beings.
I'll do a lot of things. I don't think I'm ever going to take a surgical option to make my appearance improve at all. It would be great if we could do temporary plastic surgery. Like, if we could just have, like, a month where we just looked like completely different human beings.
And we'll put it on this? What? Botox? I don't know.
I ain't doing that shit. I ain't doing a needle in my face. I'm down for Ozempic. What?
We don't do on Ozempic? Maybe raising your ears, the facelift, tummy tuck. Yeah, I could use the chin. Oh, I could get the shin lengthening surgery.
Yeah. If you get, like, six inches added, that would rock. I could get a breast reduction. Maybe I'll do, uh, I'll just get my entire face changed.
And I'll say it's because I had a broken nose and I was snoring too much at night, so I had to get no surgery. And, no, it's not plastic surgery, but then come out of it looking like a totally different human being. Yeah, we should do it. Or we could just hire two super hot interns and just have them be the non-cover art.
Yeah. Catfish. Like Milli Vanilli. Yeah.
Have you listen to the podcast. Yeah. Okay, before we talk to someone at Football College Football. We're brought to you by Chevy.
There's a reason we've never done a Mount Rushmore of pickup trucks and that's because for part of my take, there's only one pickup truck, the Chevy Silverado. Why is that? Silverado's a partner, a partner you can depend on. We've all spent time driving and using the Silverado for all kinds of part of my take jobs, adventures, and other shenanigans.
Silverado has been our ride for a cross-country trip to the Super Bowl. Silverado helped us dig the biggest hole ever in the state of Ohio last year. Grit week. Silverado helped us give fullbacks the recognition they deserve with the Low Man Award and this year Silverado was out west with us for our latest Grit Week.
Silverado brings the grit too. Legendary grit paired with modern truck tech inside and out. Massive screens up to eight cameras with 14 different views to help make driving, towing, and parking all easier. We love the bold, blacked-out look of the new Silverado HD trail boss.
So head on over to Chevy.com and build your own Silverado or Silverado HD and check out all the current offers on Silverado. Discover world strength and capability all behind the wheel of our favorite truck, the Chevy Silverado. Monday Night Football. I can't believe that I ever doubted Mike Tomlin again after coming to the conclusion that Mike Tomlin is a top five coach in the NFL.
I know he hasn't won a playoff game in a very long time, but all he does is run a great locker room and have a competitive team every year. But Mike Tomlin, my apologies, putting Russell Wilson was the right move. That's a crazy ballsy move that he made, too. Yeah.
And so for all the hate that he gets being mediocre, Mike. And also, I think there's like two things about Mike Tomlin that are true always. Every year. One, people call him mediocre, Mike.
Two, people also say like, this might be Mike Tomlin's best coaching job. Yeah. They say that every single year about Mike Tomlin. Just depends on the week.
But this is a ballsy move that he made. It's a very ballsy move. And if you've watched the Steelers the last two weeks, and we don't like primetime games. I've learned that this year.
I'm trying to absorb that into every core fiber of my body a Sunday game. It got postponed to Monday afternoon at 5 p.m. Oh, that was the Monday? I thought that was the Wednesday football game.
And I think that was the Ravens, maybe. Okay. They definitely had both. Yeah.
COVID fucked everything up. And then Monday, yes. But it was Monday night football. Games played after 5.01 p.m.
On Monday night. They just don't win. That might be the craziest record in sports, the craziest streak in sports. Well, there's a crazier one.
Daniel Jones is now 1-15 in primetime games. Yeah. That is quite something. By the way, the other part of the Mike Tomlin switching to Russell Wilson, which is nuts.
I know they gave the job to Russell Wilson before the season, and then he got hurt and you can do the whole thing. You never lose your job to injuries. But still, they were 4-2 and you're making a switch at quarterback. I thought it was crazy.
It turns out I'm the crazy one. Mike Tomlin is the smart one because here's the other thing that happened. They got one of the best free agent or trade deadline pickups in George Pickens because he looks like he actually cares. And he's completely unlocked with Russell Wilson.
This is what's awesome about George Pickens because you have him doing hilarious. He's the James Winston wide receiver. Correct. That's what he is.
So he'll make spectacular catches. He'll just get one foot down. He'll make a spectacular catch. He'll get hit.
And then he'll get up and throw like he did yesterday which was just an insane play. Yeah, the turnaround was so great too. He's like, if you give a six-year-old exceptional athleticism, that's how he acts. Like a six-year-old that's on a sugar rush from drinking too much strawberry drinks and then put him on a football field.
Yeah, he's going to start skipping halfway through his route sometimes. But this was George Pickens two weeks ago we were watching tape of him not even trying. And now Russell Wilson is throwing moon balls to him and he's completely unlocked and the Steelers are... And here's the other thing.
That was just a classic T.J. Watt game where he is the closer for that team. Where if the Steelers can get the game script going where they're up late in the fourth quarter, or T.J. Watt, we'll just end the game.
And unfortunately for the Giants right tackle, Jermaine Elmenor, I don't know how to say his last name, Elmenor, all-time bad quote because during the week he said he wants to be left on an island against T.J. Watt. Maybe he just meant like Jerry wants to be left on an island, just hanging out. Yeah, that's a long gap, yeah.
Or someplace up in the Rocky Mountains. Should the Giants sell now? I think they should because Mr. Mara has already said and I actually believe him that they're not going to make any changes to the front office and coaching staff.
So if you are the front office and you're not going to get fired, why wouldn't you try to trade anything you can for draft picks and then extend your stay because you're like, well, we have draft picks, we've got to see how they turn out. So I would believe Mr. Mara, but the last two times he did that, he went back on it. So he did that to Joe Judge, I think it was in November of Joe Judge's last year, he said, he's our coach, we're not making a change.
And then three weeks later, he made a change. He did that, was it McAdoo? Probably McAdoo. He told the press like, McAdoo's our coach, we're not going to make a change, we're not firing him.
And then like two weeks later after that, they fired him. So like the last two times he's said that about a coach. No, but I think it's better than both those guys. And again, like I've said, that they should keep him.
Yeah, they should not keep Daniel Jones. I don't really know how Daniel Jones is, like we're going to look back and be like, this guy started in the NFL for six years. Yeah. It's pretty remarkable because it's just, he has not changed, it feels like at all.
He had that one year, the first year with Brian Dable that he was kind of unlocked. But yeah, it's, every game feels like the same, one in 15 in primetime games. He needs to, Daniel Jones actually might be a good quarterback for like the Carolina Panthers, the Jacksonville Jaguars who don't play primetime games. Like he got the worst marriage in being on the New York Giants who are guaranteed five primetime games a year and the guy can't win in primetime.
Yeah, it was sad after the game because I think Dable was saying in his post game interview, like I really liked the emotion. That was good progress that we saw from Daniel Jones showing emotion during this game. It's like, if that's the highlight that you have talking about your quarterback who's been, you're starting for six years. Yeah.
Saying, I like that he's starting to show emotion out there. That's bad. And then, but he was angry this weekend. They're going to Germany.
Wait, no, I thought they had the Commanders this weekend. Oh, that's right, the Commanders and then Germany is going to be next up against the Panthers. That might be Daniel Jones' best game of the season. Yeah.
The most, like the least primetime game possible. Yeah, the least primetime game especially against the Panthers. Yeah, I think the Giants should sell and I don't know, if you're a Giants fan, going with, like Daniel Jones has to just, has to drive you nuts. Yeah.
It has to like, it's just the same week, week to week, it's exactly the same. I did the Rav 4 Todd Bowles the other day. I saw another one of Giants fans, Big Mac Mule versus Daniel Jones. Big Mac Mule is 1269.
Can't play football, can't read the defense, makes people happy. Daniel Jones is $160 million, can't play football, can't read the defense, makes people mad. Yeah, so take the Big Mac Mule. Big Mac's got that special sauce.
Shout out to G-Men Galaxy. I think the Steelers are actually very good though. Yeah. I think what Russell Wilson's done on the offense is a combination of not having Matt Canada and now having a quarterback that can throw the ball to the middle of the field and that can actually trust his receivers to go make a play.
I think that the Steelers are one of the best teams in the AFC. Does Russell Wilson, because I was wrong, I thought Russell Wilson was cooked. Is it Russell Wilson got a little humble pie or not to kick a man when he's down, but it just further proves that if they know how it might have been so, so, so, so bad. That's also one way you can look at.
You kind of felt the same way where it's like, Russell Wilson's cooked. He's old, he hasn't been good in a couple years, but now he, it's not like he's prime Russell Wilson. I'm not going to get ahead of myself, but he clearly has something left in the tank and he clearly has elements of the Steelers offense that was missing in George Pickett. I also think that Sean Payton and Russell Wilson was a marriage that's never going to work.
Yeah, I didn't even count that year because that was like a million years. That was also a forced marriage. They didn't want each other. Never in a million years was he going to look halfway decent working for Sean Payton.
Sean Payton hated everything about Russell Wilson. Yeah, basically Sean Payton's year one job was to just alienate Russell Wilson as much as possible and treat him like shit. Yeah, yeah. Okay, so other things.
I dealt with a very bad day on Monday. Here's how my Monday went, PFD. I'm sure you had a great day because you got to watch all the highlights. I thought I was over the Hail Mary and then I took my two oldest kids out to dinner last night and getting into the car, I was strapping them into their car seats.
A guy parked a couple spots away from me was like, hey, what's up, big cat? And then we spent probably 10 minutes in the parking lot talking about the Hail Mary and how much that sucked. And then it was basically my whole life of suck all in one because then at the end I didn't catch this guy's name but he was like, yeah, my son is actually the highest rated quarterback in Illinois right now. He's committed to Oregon and then I spent another five minutes trying to flip him to Wisconsin via Stella Blue Deals.
So it was, I don't know why, God just put that man there to have that conversation. It didn't work. Oregon has a little bit, Phil has a little more money than Stella Blue Coffee. Probably the uniform.
Yeah, but it was like, I got in the car and my kids were just like, Daddy, let's go, let's go, let's go. I was like, hold on one second. We're trying to get a quarterback here. We're trying to close the deal.
But it was like everything summed up in one 10 minute random exchange with a stranger being like, holy shit, did that suck? If your kids just knew how much happier your daddy would be if that guy's son went to Wisconsin, they would be like, no, take your time. Yeah, right. Yeah, I should have just been like, Bucky, we'll come to your birthday party.
But now that we've gone, so yesterday sucked, today is getting a little better because this might have been a silver lining in the fact that it seems like the Bears players are finally turning on Matt Iberflus, which has not happened until this moment. And they are, we had Jalen Johnson come out and he's like, if Tyree Stevenson had been doing his job, there's a 0% chance that, because Tyree Stevenson was supposed to be on Noah Brown. There's a 0% chance that works. He also said that they should call the timeout because it was chaotic.
Yeah, that's something the head coach should work, or should figure out. Kevin Byard was asked about the play before where Matt Iberflus just gave up 14 yards for free. He was like, yeah, I don't know why we were doing that. We did sideline defense the end of the first half.
I don't know why we didn't do it at the end of the game. And then Cole Comet talked about self-discipline and guys holding each other accountable. And basically all this adds up to Matt Iberflus is to blame for this, which I came to that conclusion on Sunday night, but it's good to hear the players back it up. And then on top of all of that, we had a report just a couple hours ago that apparently Ben Johnson was interested in the Bears job last year, and people are saying that's the one he wanted.
So pack your bags, Matt Iberflus. Thank you, PFT. He's got the guy out of town. So I heard about Ben Johnson.
I also heard that Ben Johnson wanted like $15 million a year. Done. Which, if you're most franchises, I think if you're an owner that really wants to win and says that they want to win, you're like, okay, that's a lot of money. However, I think Ben Johnson might be the real deal.
If you're getting a rookie quarterback, that's the thing about bringing Caleb in and not switching up anything to head coaching staff. And we said this, I've said this many times about the Bears, you double fucked yourself. You double fucked because number one, you didn't bring in a new guy with a new quarterback, meaning that there's a good chance that he'll have to experience two coaching staffs in his first two years. And also double fucked is you weren't able to attract a great offensive coordinator because any offensive coordinator come in on year two.
And they did the exact same thing with Justin Fields when they drafted Justin Fields with Matt Nagy and had Matt Iberfuss come in year two. They just keep doing it. If you're going to bring in a new quarterback that's highly drafted, it's probably a good idea. I would say the exception to that could be the Giants because I think that they were a good offensive coach.
But it's just, so as much as yesterday's not because it was literally everyone wanted to talk about it and you could see it on someone's face when they saw me. I walked in the office at like 9.30 in the morning and Fasoli, I think he had been sitting there since like midnight with the camera ready to go. So it was just one of those torturous, torturous days. But the silver lining is it feels like they're finally realizing this is the first time that there has been players calling out Matt Iberfuss and players being like, hey, that was a winnable game that we completely fucked up at the end.
What is the path to getting him gone at the quickest? I think anything besides an NFC Championship run is probably gone. But you think he's going to be the whole season? I think he's going to be the Bears don't fight.
They've never in history. They don't do that. Greeny was going off. They wouldn't fire him.
Did you see the Greeny clip? No. It was some of the most heated language I've ever heard him say. By the way, the dumbest thing I've ever seen any players do in my life.
It was. We had all the time we had time out to despair. We gave up 15 yards for free on the play before. The play before the Hail Mary was just dumb.
His explanation afterwards was even dumber. He was like, I don't really see much of a difference between throwing the ball 65 yards in the air and having him try to throw the ball 80 yards in the air. That's a pretty big difference. And that's where this feels like it's a significant shift in the narrative because Matt Iberfuss is a guy who will get up in front of the microphone after a game and just never take blame for anything and just be like, we've got to look at the positives.
Having the players say, hey, there were some negatives there which was very obvious to literally everyone with eyes and a brain in their skull finally feels like, okay, he's kind of losing it here and it feels like the Bears locker room is sitting there being like, we're talented enough to be a 6-1 team blowing that game at the end of the Hail Mary, the Colts game and yet we're sitting here 4-3 wondering what the fuck has happened. I'm excited that maybe this is, they're going to make the right choice but again, it's the Bears so they probably won't. So Rex Ryan has made it very clear that he's willing to coach again. He's doing that big time.
He's putting his name on a lot of people's desks. He would coach the Jets, he said. he would coach the Bears. Yeah, the play before the play was very bad.
I'm going to use the word malpractice. I think it was coaching malpractice and then the players after, I think it was either yesterday maybe this morning, some of the players are saying we want to be coached harder. It's okay if you coach us harder because we need that. I don't know what they're going to do with the cornerback situation because that would be a good cut.
That would be a good... Stevenson's good though, that's the problem. I know, but like a real football guy coach would be like, don't even comment. I don't think you can cut him especially because we have some injuries there but he's a good player he made a very, very bad mistake.
I think all the other players hit the ball in the air. So it's just, it's great. Do you think that was a good throw or a bad throw that Jaden had on the Hail Mary? I think it was a good throw.
Okay, interesting. Max and I had a deep conversation about that and there was an unfortunate cliff that got resurfaced. So during Sunday night show, Max made the point like any quarterback in the NFL can make that throw and it just so happens there was a quarterback that tried to make that throw in the Super Bowl on the very last play of the game and I believe he threw the ball about 46 yards in the air and that quarterback was Jalen Hurd. It was a good throw, it was short but it was a good throw.
It was a good spiral. I have a question for you. What Hail Mary isn't lucky? Yeah, yeah.
You're saying that like it's like a... Hey, I agree with this. I agree with this. It's not like you can be a great Hail Mary quarterback.
I mean, some are a little bit better than others but Hail Mary's a very lucky play but that entire drive that led up to the Hail Mary he made a few big passes that got there. Wait, no, that was only one pass on that drive. I think there were two. The one that was wide open.
I think there were two. Yeah, I mean, that wasn't... I don't want to get it back in the weeds but I'm pretty sure that... They literally let him down the whole Matty Eberflus thing.
He had one throw to start driving through his fucking feet. I thought that he had two completions on that drive before the Hail Mary. I think he did. I mean, but one of them was literally...
Matty Eberflus is a fucking moron. Yes, and I'm not saying that that means that Jaden's an awesome quarterback is that he threw a Hail Mary. Every quarterback can try to throw the ball that far and a lot of them, you know, it's a crap shoot at the end. It was still a good play everything that happened on that play before he made the throw.
Scrambling around the pocket and getting himself a good... Yeah, he should have rushed more. It was stupid. Yeah, I mean, he did what he had to do and it was a great play but I'm not saying that's the metric of him.
He made two completions. One was the one that... He had one incompletion then he completed one to Zach Hurts and the one that was just given to you. Yeah, so he had two completions and then the Hail Mary on that drive.
A good quarterback puts their team in a spot where they can get lucky. Right. Jalen Hurts' throw, there was no chance. Jason Kelsey stepped on his foot.
Interesting. That's part of moving around the pocket. Jalen Hurts threw 350 yards and three touchdowns against the Super Bowl in that game. How's that not putting him in a good situation to win?
He threw an absolute dime on the drive before to tie the game up and then fucking Juju Smith-Schusker gets away with a stupid I'm just saying let's not take away from the fact no, I'm not saying that yet. Let's not take away from the fact he had a good drive to get them into position and then he had a good play where he scrambled he scrambled around the pocket and then threw a great ball for a Hail Mary. Let's not take anything away from this young man, Max. You're the one who brought this up.
Well, because you brought it up on Sunday. Yes, I have a question for you. If Jane Daniels throws an interception on that Hail Mary, are you claiming that? That's crapshoot.
That plays crapshoot. Yeah, that interception doesn't care. the end of the season i will make sure to go back and tell everyone he actually had one less interception than you think he did i i think yeah i just i hate that game that game sucks because it was also it was just the bears are i've watched that game a million times the bears are in an offensive slog and can't do anything and then cale williams got him out of it and it was a game they should never have won that they were going to somehow win and uh yeah sucked i also after watching it again dan quinn tried to get that game away too dan quinn tried very very hard with not going forward on like fourth and inches yeah uh giving the bears the ball back and then just absolutely killing whatever time we had left i'd much rather bear scored with with two minutes two and a half minutes left on the clock yeah 25 seconds and who cares if you give the ball up in your own territory at that point yeah this sucks whatever it's the bears have to win against cardinals that's the thing they have no margin of error anymore and i'm just again i'm the silver lining in all of this is being exposed for what we all knew but the vibes were high enough that no one was going to speak out against him in the bears locker room and now that you have a loss like that that is so inexcusable with how it went down he's getting exposed and that's i think a good thing did you see the i think a good thing it was uh johnson hit me up was a nine nine at halftime last night two great offenses going at it tonight football yeah kicking field goals yeah it's fantastic yeah the giants are known for their offices great offenses yeah moving the ball yeah moving the ball between the 20s kicking field goals it's way to go uh all right uh memes real quick i have two things for memes uh i like the jets fan that retired uh did you guys see this this is from igor 2h ahl the press jets fan he said due to recent struggles and constant pain suffered from the new york jets i've ultimately decided i'm gonna step away from the game i've once loved i'm not sure when i'll be back but i can no longer endure the constant torture and pain the new york jets give me spend more time with the family yeah he did oh for real retirement and uh he did this on monday i think he should have waited a day because i don't know if you guys saw but the jets have their solution to fix the season changing their uniforms again oh i like that they're going the all blacks are halloween so memes you're kind of back i don't think we're back i think we're gonna get smoked on thursday and then everybody's gonna get traded on friday everyone's gonna get traded yeah oh man everyone everyone everyone literally literally literally literally every person every player i was thinking about uh the the whole don't rent an old quarterback to try to make your team good and put super bowl aspirations on him i was thinking about that the stats actually show that maybe you should try to rent an old ass quarterback if you don't have like if you don't have a top two quarterback of all time like patrick mahomes or tom brady with the patriots if you look back at the last 10 years it's happened three times peyton manning tom brady with the bucks and matt staff peyton manning is a little bit of a different one just because he won the super bowl no longer being peyton manning but yes his best season was before the super bowl season yeah the defense won that super yeah yeah the last season would have been happy having their great defense and then aaron rogers playing like average just slightly above correct that was the plan yeah so it's actually not his achilles blew up yeah it's actually not that stupid of an idea but when it doesn't work it looks really really dumb it looks yeah if it doesn't work it's camden on the patriots or matt ryan on the colts yeah um memes you can't explain this meme that you just posted i saw you pull it up when you when you're scrolling twitter over there telling my kids this is big cat max and pft and it's uh aj big boy and and the rizzler i love it so which who's who uh i think it's in order right yeah you left or right so i'm i'm uh i'm big justice max is aj and then pft would be i'm the rizzler all right i think i like a bandit there pft why are you the rizzler the rizzler the rizzler is the best i feel like the whole squad one when they went on fallon he's just rizzler's got the he's just got all the swag actually i dress pretty similar to the rizzler why why is no one on the main i think you have those shoes i think i do too post that one on the main all right that's a great meme i also i'll come all the way around on those guys by the way yeah how can you here's the thing the rizzlers they just they just do it like yeah they just beat you in submission with the same video and then eventually you're like all right the song is the same video yep yep just a couple different characters and the rizzler's gonna do the thing where he does his chin like yeah they're they're the best i've i've been a costume guy from day one that's bad was that bad what was that bad gotta be like matt okay you gotta kind of furrow your brow you gotta furrow your brow a little yeah that's a very funny picture a very funny yeah the boys that was a team win having those guys on fallon the rizzler likes the chicken bakes uh the research not as much of a costco guy as he's just in the cinematic universe but he also is kind of the star got it he does a uh he does a trick on his bike no hands i can't do that yeah he just he actually just lifts them up for like a split second it's fucking awesome i have a question about the jets yeah means sparked my attention when he was talking about being a seller has there in any sport has there ever been a team that was the biggest buyer and the biggest seller in the same season i'm sure it's happened yeah the jets are basically giving uh within the trade deadline period yeah the jets are giving the uh dream team eagles the steve nash dwight howard lakers that's the vibes that they're like you know no one's gonna stop them and then the padres kind of do that yeah the padres did that yeah where it's like on paper this is the greatest team ever assembled and then they started playing games like whoops trying to think who else could have done in the nba people in the nest this is gonna be one of those things that tomorrow morning people yeah but if i had 10 minutes to think about it yeah um i don't know i don't know about the nfl though because in season devontae adams is definitely the biggest buy and move of the year it's a big buy and move yeah so the eagles dream team was that all before yeah it was before the season vince young said that as the backup quarterback before the season even started there's just not a lot there's not teams that load up in the nfl like yeah it's hard to load up in the nba and mlb teams will get stacked teams yeah the nfl will pick up one one big signing what teams are known for winning the offseason super bowl now this is gonna be fun that was the uh title of the lakers sports illustrators it was fun it was fun for us yeah yeah yeah it's hard i mean i don't know if the jets are gonna be full sellers are they i mean they do have a shitload of holes what if they win on thursday if i mean if they win on thursday then that's the biggest trap that's the biggest trap line of all time stefan tiggs and nico are out yeah but joe mickson gonna run for 200 yards oh yeah i forgot about joe mickson but what if aaron rogers does something crazy that would be sick yeah i mean i don't think no i mean let me see the uniforms we could be back depending on what uniforms these are all black how black are they we wear the stealth black thursday night i like stealth black ah you might be back they're off the radar you might be back this is like aaron rogers is wearing a darkness retreat oh you might be back and who do you have next after uh you get a mini buy after playing thursday night football and then the cardinals and then the colts memes say that picture right there because they're showing the difference between the old black uniforms and the new black uniforms they're the same no no no no there's two lines means i'm looking at the schedule right now if we're just talking about the peak jets on paper they might run the table the same uniform the jets love doing this they're just fixing everything with uniforms no this on halloween i i could see the jets win this i fuck around with this yeah uh should we talk a little college football yeah let's talk a little college football uh so we're getting into november we have some awesome stories of undefeated teams maybe one of the best stories is byu and byg their uh quarterback when he decided to commit that he had like different colored yarmulkes on the table i don't know it's it's crazy there's three jewish uh students at byu he's one of them that's awesome it's crazy uh but yeah the byu story is is incredible we got some teams lurking that were dead like clemson you know off the week clemson and texas a&m are the two biggest like hey this is a long season because what texas a&m did to lsu in the second half uh on saturday night was incredible they had they had they had nussmeyer seen straight up ghosts he looked like he was going to cry that's what that's what you get at a&m you're always gonna have a great defensive line yeah you're gonna have guys that can get after the quarterback and then making the quarterback switch was a ballsy call too and it's definitely the right call for a&m i don't know if it's gonna be a full switch you don't think so no who's their offense coordinator again uh well uh i don't think it's gonna be a full switch because they're i think they should do if a&m is smart they do literally a two back two quarterback situation which can work in college football like they're playing south carolina next week or this week south carolina has one of the best defensive lines in college football south carolina could probably bottle up read south carolina's secondary is not the best so wegman could probably carve them up like it could be a situation that they do two quarterbacks and it works that's right it's colin klein yeah i knew that so colin klein he's i think he likes calling offenses for guys that remind them of his skills yeah but i actually think they might and i could be way wrong we could we could you know saturday comes around and it's just like they have one starter and that's it but i think there's a chance they might go game to game drive to drive with both their quarterbacks because what marcel we did in the second half was incredible uh he's not like an incredible passer and then so when you play teams that don't have great secondaries you just switch it up yeah so after the game mike elko i loved his comments oh yeah so now we're playing a big guessing game on who he was talking about because it's like a litmus test which way did you see this go when he said uh about the culture a&m this is a real program it's not fake it's not a politician running this program brian kelly's i thought i thought brian kelly immediately he did he did the double i think not a politician running this program is brian kelly yeah uh and then talking fast and being s bsing everybody is jimbo yeah because brian kelly's not a fast talker no but he has a politician talk and jimbo is bsing everybody isn't bsing everybody's dad like a congressperson yeah yeah so i thought that was at brian kelly the bsing everybody they had to come out and clarify that he wasn't talking about anybody he was just talking about his program um it's a great reminder though for tex a&m who did the let's get jimbo fisher and pay him a million hundred million dollars and that'll solve everything sometimes in college football mike elko was not the sexy hire he was at duke he was he's just a very good competent like nuts and bolts football college that's what he does he's gonna he's gonna make sure that your team is playing at a level that doesn't dip and is not talking about recruiting class all that and it's a great reminder that sometimes just fire the best football coach and mike elko is a fucking great football coach and texas a&m after their week one loss and everyone's like oh man this is gonna work out are undefeated in the sec schedule now they do have again this south carolina game is not like people will look at it and say texas a&m ranked south carolina not ranked ooh they'll kill them south carolina is not to be looked past and they also finished the season with texas but they're in the driver's seat where they control their own destiny not only to go to the sec championship game but the college football playoff and so is notre dame which notre dame is now benefiting from texas a&m being awesome because their week one looks even better yeah so it also goes to show you what a great thing it is to have a bunch of people who are absurdly wealth because they struck it rich in a particular industry controlling the program because they the texas oil people use their money to be able to afford jimbo fisher's what 70 million dollar buyout yeah no other university would do that but texas a&m they're like we got fuck you money we might as well say fuck you to somebody yeah that's the point of having it if you're not going to use it yeah and so they were able to buy them out it goes to show you that if the nerds that graduate from stanford that got really rich on crypto if they cared 1% about football they don't which they don't stanford would be powerhouse yeah just put all your money into just having a good football team that's what you should be doing with that money bring hardball back it's a yeah it was it turns out a great firing if you can afford it and uh elko i like elko i don't know if he's playing the game of saying something and then being like oh shucks i didn't mean what you guys all thought that because it felt pointed at the time oh definitely i was thinking about brian kelly trying to recruit wegman in the transfer portal and i forgot what accent he should use to talk to yeah no it was definitely a direct shot but mike elko's a good football coach who has a team playing good football and it was uh it's just it goes back to this season being a lot of fun because you have it feels like more parody and then the other teams i was gonna mention is indiana just keeps rolling everyone they just that was uh um that scene in bloomington is just on fire uh they had game day this week and like i don't know if you guys saw the pick six it was one of the coolest camera shots i've ever seen where the cameraman zoomed out at the perfect time and so like because they had a pick six early in the game where the cornerback uh intercepted it and it was so clear that there was no one close so as he's running like across the 30 the cameraman zoomed out and it was just this packed crowd that looks just absolutely on fire and this is why college football rocks but indiana they i mean michigan state's gonna be not it's not a cakewalk going to east lansing because they've been frisky this year and they have a big date against ohio state who ohio state looks very human with some of their injuries on the offensive line they can't run i mean they lost their their left tackle uh and for the season and they look and i think his backup got hurt too during the game they look mortal i think penn state yeah well penn state has a quarterback conference so uh max how'd you how'd you like madison madison rock love the people of wisconsin i mean it is the people of wisconsin like you uh they they're very friendly yeah much friendlier than they should be i heard there were rumors that max doesn't like wisconsin no no he didn't like jump around because they didn't let him jump no that's not true i thought jump around was a little underwhelming i was excited for jump around because they didn't let him jump that's incorrect uh did you go on state street i i don't know i went on streets i don't know with a lot of bars yes i went on the street that had a lot of bars oh you've been massive though it is the perfect college town in terms of setup like the bars and everything and it's just it's all right there's a bunch of bars that are just like in parking lots that's right by the stadium yeah i got a question why do they call it camp randall uh it was a civil war camp i want to believe for uh i hope i hope i have that right but i'm pretty sure i do uh yeah i believe it was a place where they trained uh people during the civil war yeah let's go that would be embarrassing but again it was the stadium lies on the grounds of camp randall union army training camp during the civil war fuck yes this brain still got a little bit yeah that was gonna suck if i was just way off the monkey bars out there the ropes and the walls yeah but it was uh yeah the penn state look i i was thinking we had a chance to to to have an upset there and then that pick six i really do think the badgers potentially could have just punted and played defensive the rest of the game then the pick six happened it was like that's it it's over there's just no way you can come back from that we're not an offense that can do that and that's all yeah that's also how every penn state game goes yeah they go down big in the first half and then the second half they just turn it on and beat the shit out of teams in the second half max am i crazy to think that penn state could beat ohio state they never can i think it's only four points yeah i like them in that game uh bo are we gonna yeah are we gonna start bo perpula i think drew aller is gonna be a game time decision which makes me think that he's probably gonna play but that's another one why not have some packages in yeah it's not like i don't i'm not gonna be crazy like oh wisconsin wins that game with drew aller in but it was very clear that when bo perpula came in the defense wasn't ready for the type of quarterback he was that was different than drew aller bo perpula is exactly true story yeah they were the same number they look the same he has the exact same game he's very mobile he's he's like a home run hitter and drew aller is like a pocket passer like nfl style quarterback yeah so they do have that sort of like you said yin and yang of kind of you can then bo perpula will play a couple plays a game yeah um i liked what i saw i was like this kid has got something he's there's something about a college quarterback who's like you watch me like he's probably not an nfl quarterback but he's a peak college quarterback you know yeah so i think that they'll they'll put aller they'll play aller but i think but but we'll also we'll also get some packages in that game got it so that's a big game like smu pit but pit is undefeated smu only has one loss against by you there's so many games that are it just there's a lot of teams it's all gonna shake out but we have this great parity we have a doomsday scenario that's loading in the sec though what's that and only two things have to happen so uh i was looking at this calculator online like it's an sec calculator for the championship game and the doomsday scenario it all hinges on lsu alabama okay if lsu beats alabama i think they're both coming off buzz if lsu beats the tide and uh the good team stay good texas could then fuck things up if they beat a&m in their game if that happened i think this is mred's uh college football sec calculator i looked on if those two things happen lsu wins against alabama and texas beats a&m it would be lsu and texas a&m in the sec championship game it would not be texas it would not be uh texas it would not be georgia yeah because they do a lot of these tiebreakers are your strength of schedule it has to do with strength of schedule and they try to do a round robin thing but if you don't all play each other it doesn't matter in the sec because it's so big now yeah they don't all play each other and having in that event it would be lsu and texas in the sec championship and then you would have Georgia playing a home game round one of the college football playoffs. There's another one like that in the Big Ten.
It's essentially if Ohio State beats Penn State and Ohio State beats Indiana, I think that it would be Ohio State, Indiana, Penn State, and I guess Oregon would have to lose a game, but they would all have one loss and Oregon would not make it to the Big Ten championship. It would be like Ohio State and Penn State, even though Oregon beat Ohio State. Yeah, I love Doomsday scenarios, and 90% of the time they don't happen. They don't become close to happening, but I like looking at how chaotic could my future be.
Memes also knows another Big Ten scenario. All right, give me Doomsday. Send me all your Doomsday scenarios by the way. There's a possibility of Oregon, Indiana, and Penn State going undefeated.
Penn State has to beat Ohio State by more than one, and Indiana has to beat Ohio State by more than one, and then Indiana and Penn State will play each other in the Big Ten championship, and Oregon would be left out. Why would Oregon be left out? I think the tiebreaker's strength of schedule. Same opponents?
Oh, is that the first tiebreaker? Yeah, it's all, without the divisions anymore in any of these conferences, it's great. And also every conference is different, the way that they write it up. Yeah, but I'm excited for, yeah, you're right, none of these ever happen, so it's head-to-head, record against all common conference opponents, which would be the same, because they would all be undefeated, and record against mutual conference opponents with best record, all undefeated, big ten winning percentage of conference opponents.
So I don't know if Indiana would, I think it would maybe be Oregon-Penn State in that, because I think Indiana's strength of schedule is not that great. It's just put up to a fan vote. I have a question, yeah, and this could be very off-base, because I fell down a, I don't know, how I ended up in an Iowa State pro-rabbit hole, but it was a fair question. How does Notre Dame lose at home to NIU and they're ranked higher than Iowa State?
And then NIU loses to Ball State. Right, it's a fair, like, again, I could have been, I was a very biased thread, but in my head I was like, yeah, that makes no sense. Does losing at NIU at home mean nothing? I think it's, so, I think a lot of it is the win against Texas A&M, and then they beat Navy, who they killed.
That was, I saw that one coming, I had some Navy fans mad at me, because I suggested that their defense wasn't very good, and then... It was 14-0 with one second in the game. Yeah, I mean, they did turn the ball over a bunch. But I think that probably has more to do with Texas A&M having their, or sorry, Notre Dame having their best win is a road win against Texas A&M, and Iowa State's best win is at Iowa, who I don't believe is ranked anymore.
So Brian Kelly's out there still improving Notre Dame. By the way, I'm on your side. Iowa State should be ranked higher. You should, I always think that, at least in the Power 5 schools, if you're undefeated, you should just beat all the undefeated teams, then the one-loss teams.
You play the games for a reason. Especially your one-loss is a bad loss. That's the Florida State thing last year, where it's like, if you win all your games, it should work out. Yeah, Iowa State's very good, and they hopefully will get in the playoff.
But the last thing we should talk about, does anyone know if a player in college football has won offensive and defensive player of the week in the same season? Is that impossible? You mean like all time? Yeah, in the same season.
They've won offensive player of the week, and then another week they won defensive player of the week. I'm going back. Charles Woodson was pretty good. He might have done it, but I mean, he was outlier.
He's the kind of guy that would win the Heisman. Yeah, Max. I think that guy from Colorado did it, right? Oh, Travis Hunter.
He won offensive player this week, and he had won defensive player earlier this season. Oh, that's crazy. Wait, you won offensive player this week? Yeah, offensive player of the week this week, and defensive player of the week earlier in the season.
Conan O'Brien meme. Travis Hunter, you mean the cornerback? Yeah, I mean the wide receiver. Whoa.
Holy shit. You were back, boys. We're all the way back. He probably plays like defensive tackle, and then he's probably a fullback.
Conan is a fullback occasionally, right? No, he's a wide receiver. He had over 100 yards receiving and two touchdowns. He had four pass breakups.
He played 140 snaps. And he's also the best quarterback in college. Oh, my God. That's crazy.
And I'm not going to do the negative campaign. We should talk about that guy. Yeah, I'm not going to do a negative campaign of trying to talk down. We're not doing negative campaigns against anyone else.
Every campaign says that. I wouldn't say Cam Ward played a hapless Florida State team and was okay, but not like eight touchdowns. I'm crying Cam Ward. I wouldn't go out there and say that Ashton Jensi, everyone keeps talking about Barry Sanders' record.
Look up how many games Barry Sanders played. He played 11. Ashton Jensi is about to play 13. You're talking about crooked Ashton?
I'm talking about 3.9 yards per carry Ashton against UNLV. I'm not doing negative campaigns. You're right. I had no idea, Max.
That's crazy. I think if you're just basing this off who's the best football player, that's a criteria, right? Yeah. Who's the best football player in the country?
Yeah. I don't think that is up for debate. I do like a couple. I'll still get a couple of A.W.L.s being like, you're only saying this because you bet on him.
Shit. You know what? Since it's actually a campaign, I bet you Travis Hunter would go on Joe Rogan. Yeah.
Go on Joe. Just get him on. Talk to Joe. Joe would talk to you.
Get the word out there. Travis Hunter for Heisman. And Colorado is, I know people, there's a lot of people out there who didn't like Deion and last year was probably a little too much too fast in terms of, you know, the hype and then them not being a good team.

Patrick Mahomes should be upset with Dylan Ryola at this point. Well, maybe that's why Patrick Mahomes is trying to throw more interceptions. Yeah. Maybe that's why Dylan Ryola is throwing interceptions.
He saw it. He's just like my hero. This is how you're going to do this. Do we think the wheels are coming off at USC?
Banning media from practice. I think this is a story that only the media cares about. Yeah. I don't know.
You can't really get rid of Lincoln Riley, but his name does rhyme with Stinkin'. Yeah. You can't just ignore that part. Stinkin' Riley.
Next week we have Maction. Finally back. So excited. That's the big news next Tuesday night.
Maction's back. This is maybe our last sports equinox night of the year. Yeah. I love equinoxes.
They're the best. What? It's not? Every single night.
Every single week. I don't know why I'm betting on Kennesaw State and San Houston and Louisiana Tech. They put it on TV and I watch it. Yeah.
